PREFACE

A Bibliography, unless confined to one particular author, to
one particular press, or circumscribed by one strictly limited
period — be it measured by time or by the activities of some
literary movement — is bound to appear arbitrary and even
capricious in its exclusion and inclusions of names and titles.

It has not been my aim, and it would be manifestly impossible
within the compass of one volume to attempt to cover nearly
two centuries, that is to say to catalogue the whole field of fiction
from 1728, the year of the earliest novel I list, Thievery-a-la-
Mode, to 1916, the date of Mary, my last entry. Selection is
inevitable, and selection can never be altogether satisfactory to
everyone.

Students then may ask, and ask with a very fair show of
reason, why such an author is not to be found when such an
other author is given in detail. There are many answers to
inquiries and criticism of this kind, but perhaps the most
practical (albeit not the best) rejoinder is to point out that, as
well as other economies, economies of space were prescribed,
hence something must needs go by the board.

Obviously those authors, for the most part the greater names,
of whom there already exist standard bibliographies, may be
pretermitted. None the less, since exceptions occur to every
rule, William Beckfcrd — to cite but one instance — will be found
in the Index of Authors, yet not of course without appropriate
reference to the fuller individual Bibliography and the recent
authoritative studies of this amazing writer.

For Sir Walter Scott, Lord Lytton, George Payne Rainsford
James, to mention but three other examples (and there are many
more), the student will surely expect to go to particular and
detailed monographs and memoirs of these masters of romance.
There is a distinction, and one which I am confident will be
easily appreciated and allowed, although I can quite well con-
ceive that at first flush the obvious query might be posed : Why
is Scott not included ? Why not Lytton ? Why not “ Solitary
Horseman” James?

Again, in spite of his essential importance and long-continued
influence it were impertinent to calendar all the works of Horace
Walpole. On the other hand the Plays, Poems, and Journals

of Matthew Gregory Lewis could not be omitted, whilst under
Charles Robert Maturin even his Sermons must be recorded.

I am very well aware that full-dress Bibliographies of Lewis,
of Maturin, and (above all) of Mrs. Radcliffe are badly needed.
Meanwhile I believe this present Bibliography with all its short-
comings will be found to give something that has not been
attempted before, and thus it will in its measure fill a very-
sensible gap.

In this Bibliography, at least, will be found not a few names
of authors as well as titles of novels which have hitherto received
no notice whatsoever, and which are missing even from the
catalogues of our national libraries. Amongst other details I
have been able to identify several writers who have hitherto
lurked under anonymity; I have assigned a considerable parcel
of romances to their rightful authors, correcting erroneous
ascriptions and dates, and from time to time untangling in the
course of my research a deal of ambiguity and confusion. All
this helps to clear the ground.

The beginnings of this Bibliography I can trace to forty and
more years since when it was my habit to make lists with notes
of the various books which struck me in the course of my
reading. I gradually systematized (amongst other material) my
terrier of the romantic field of fiction, and so soon as I projected
a study of the Gothic Novel my collections became more and
more ordered and arranged, so that in a little time I had by
me a handy book of quick reference.

Originally, that is to say some fifteen years age, when pub-
lication was suggested it was intended — hence the name — to
concentrate upon a Bibliography of the Gothic Novel, but even
so in order to make the book of real service many romances
which foreshadowed and paved the way to the Gothic Novel
could not be ignored, whilst it proved even more important to
register the later romances which were written on the model
and showed the influence of the Gothic Novel, although the
parent stock was fallen from its high estate, demoded and out
of vogue.

This led me to chart a region altogether unexplored, wherein
it became (if possible) even harder to find the way. Here I do
not claim to have done more than point the direction to other
scholars, who as time goes on will be led to investigate in ampler
detail, far beyond the scope of a Bibliography, that enormous
school of sensational fiction which had its period of florescence
from roughly 1830 to 1880, or perhaps one might even venture

viii

PREFACE

on a later date. Admittedly this was popular fare. As Mr.
Michael Sadleir has well put it : “ The Gothic Novel crashed,
and became the vulgar ‘ blood.’ The spirit of melodrama and
of terror (which is only in rousing guise the spirit of escape)
persisted unsubdued and persists to this day.” It would appear
indeed that at the present time of writing no form of fiction is
more widely read or more eagerly pursued. But there is one
great differentiating factor. The old sensation novel even at its
slummiest and worst is infinitely superior, is far better written,
far better contrived than the most recklessly puffed and
panegyrized “ thriller ” to-day.

This disposes of the objection that the Edward Lloyd school
of fiction has fallen into oblivion because it is unworthy of
attention. As works of imagination these sensation novels are
by no means negligible. To gain a complete understanding of
the grea^t romantic revival we must study it in all its expressions
and in every mood. Romance may be uplifted in ecstatic beauty
to the golden stars, but it may also be found to walk the crowded
streets and hide in darkest alley-ways.

It is hardly to be surprised at that when the work of so striking
figures as G. W. M. Reynolds and J. F. Smith has never received
adequate treatment — it would be true to say they have never
been seriously discussed at all — such authors as the prolific
Thomas Peckett Prest, Malcolm J. Rymer, Mrs. Elizabeth
Caroline Grey, James Lindridge, Edward Ellis, Thomas Frost,
remain almost if not entirely unknown. Yet those who for the
first time approach these minors — if indeed Prest and Rymer be
minors in their own realm — will be astonished to find what a
quality their chapters possess, how they can grip the reader’s
attention and hold him fast through endless adventures and
turns of fate.

A warning word is perhaps due to the student and may not
be inapposite here. The scarcity of the Gothic Novel and its
successors constitutes a very real difficulty, and is a practical
stumbling-block in the way of research. It is astonishing of
how many novels in the following Bibliography only a couple
of copies, or it may be only three copies, are at present known,
and often these are not available in our national libraries, but
are treasured in the hands of private collectors. In several
instances, so far as it is possible to locate, one solitary examplar
survives.

The most famous publishing house which issued Gothic
romances was beyond doubt the Minerva, although it must

always be remembered (and it will, in fact, be amply evident
from the following bibliography) that William Lane together
with his partner and successor, Anthony King Newman, had no
monopoly in Gothic fiction. Thus in 1808 T. F. Hughes,
Wigmore-Street, Cavendish-Square, advertises amongst other
novels — Family Annals; a Novel, in 5 vols., 255., from the
chaste pen of Mrs. Hunter of Norwich, Author of Letitia,
Grubthorpe Family, Lady Palmerston’s Letters, &c. ; The
Demon of Sicily; a Romance, 4 vols., 20L, by Edward Mon-
tague, Esq.; The Fugitive Countess; a Novel, 4 vols., i8r., by
Miss Wilkinson; Adelgitha; a Play, in 5 Acts, 3 s. (3 d. edition)
by M. G. Lewis, Esq., as performed at Drury-Lane Theatre with
great applause; Feudal Tyrants; a Romance, 4 vols., 28L, by
the same author (3 d. edition); The Bravo of Venice; (5th
edition), a Romance, 1 vol., 6l, by the same; The Monk of
Udolpho; a Legendary Tale , 4 vols., 22 s., by Mr. Horseley
Curties; Alphonsine ; a Novel, in 4 vols., 22 s., from the pen of
Madame Genlis; The Spanish Outlaw; a Tale, 4 vols., 22s. ;
Friar Hildargo ; a Romance, 5 vols., 25J.; Count Eugenio;
or, Fatal Errors; a Tale, 2 vols., 12 s.; Moss Cliffe Abbey; a
Novel, 4 vols., i8r. (2nd edition) by the Author of “ A Summer
at Brighton”; The Kinsmen of Naples; a Novel, 4 vols., 18s.
(2nd edition) by the same ; A Summer at Brighton; (5th edition
in 4 vols.), 2or. To this Edition is now first added the fourth
Volume, containing the Memoirs and Intrigues of the Modern
Lais, a well-known woman of rank and fashion. The fourth
volume is sold separate. Legends of a Nunnery; a romantic
Legend, in 4 vols., 20s. ; Confessions of Constantia ; a Tale, 3,
vols., 135. 6d. ; The Three Germans; a Romance, 3 vols., I2£.

The printers in ordinary for J. F. Hughes were J. Dean, 57
Wardour Street, Soho; and D. N. Shury, Berwick Street, Soho.

The first superintendent of the Minerva printing office, John
Plummer, was followed by John Darling, who was succeeded
by his son, the name Darling actually persisting as late as 1859.

The Minerva Press, Lane, or Lane and Newman, did not
publish for Mrs. Radcliffe or Monk Lewis or Charlotte Dacre or
Maturin. (It is true that late editions of Mrs. Radcliffe appear
among Newman’s advertisements.) On the other hand they
published — yet not exclusively — for Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. Parsons,
Mrs. Roche, Mrs. Meeke, Francis Lathom. In their particular
field under the aegis of Minerva, Lane and Newman achieved an
eminence which has left behind a name and a tradition even
until to-day.

PREFACE

William Lane commenced bookseller about 1770, and pub-
lisher some four years later. It was not until 1790 that he
adopted the title Minerva, and in the following year “ at the
Minerva, Leadenhall Street ” begins to appear regularly on his
title-pages. Anthony King Newman, an apprentice of Lane,
was taken into partnership in 1801, and in 1802 the title-pages
carry “ Printed at the Minerva-Press, for Lane and Newman,
Leadenhall-Street.” In 1803 we have “Lane, Newman, and
Co.” In 1809 William Lane somewhat reluctantly — it is said —
retired from business, and thus the title-pages now read “Printed
at the Minerva-Press, for A. K. Newman and Co. (Successors to
Lane, Newman, & Co.). William Lane died on Saturday, 29th
January, 1814, at his residence, No. 3 Gloucester Place,
Brighton. Timperley, Encyclopaedia of Literary and Typo-
graphical Anecdote, gives his age as seventy-six.

After 1820 Newman dropped “ Minerva Press” from his
title-pages, and during the thirties he was specializing in
“ Juvenile and Prize Books ” of which he issued glowing cata-
logues. His ware included such specimens as Angelina, or Con-
versations of A Little Girl with Her Doll with numerous cuts, at
half-a-crown ; Miss Selwyn’s Fairy Tales, half bound in roan,
or cloth, lettered, with 40 plates at two shillings, which seems a
cheap handsel ; and Miss Caroline Horwood’s Original Poetry
for Children, also costing but a florin. At this time too he was
issuing large numbers of the stories of that “ amiable and
ingenious writer of tales for young and old alike,” the admired
and eminently meritorious Mrs. Barbara Hofland (1770-1844).
Newman’s catalogue of 1838 includes no less than thirty of this
lady’s works. There are her tales, Decision, Energy, Fortitude,
Patience, Self-Denial, the evergreen Young Crusoe, or, The
Shipwrecked Boy, as well as her more distinctly educational
lucubrations, Africa Described, Including the Recent Dis-
coveries; A Panorama of Europe; The Illustrated Alphabet,
and many more. In their “ Elegant Embossed Bindings, With
Gilt Edges, And Lettered, Illustrated with Plates,” the Hofland
Tales are really charming little volumes.

The output of romances was sparser in these years, although
it had by no means ceased. In 1841, for example, Newman
published The Witch of Aysgarth in three volumes by Miss C. D.
Haynes.

Newman was also much occupied with remainder publishing.
Buying the sheets from other houses he printed a new title-page
carrying his own name, and thus in his catalogues we find titles

of books which actually had already appeared bearing the
imprint of another firm. There is no indication, moreover, that
the Newman issue is not a genuine first.

In Notices to Correspondents, The London Journal, edited by
G. W. M. Reynolds; published Vickers, 28 Holywell Street,

is informed : “ Lord Byron did not write ‘ The Vampire,’

although it was for many years attributed to him. It can be
procured of Newman, Leadenhall Street.”

A. K. Newman retired in 1848. The stock was sold to Robert
S. Parry, also a remainder publisher, who continued business at
the Minerva for six years, until 1854.

Of Anthony King Newman, Le Fanu wrote in March, 1862 :
“ That patron of undeveloped fictional genius held on till within
the last score years, when he retired to take some rest at
Gravesend, at the ripe age of four score. From all that we can
learn, he was an estimable citizen, and possessed judgement in
his peculiar walk. Remnants of his stock, done up in cloth to
have a modem air, were sent to the great auction-rooms in
Dublin, Edinburgh, and other large towns, previous to handing
on his good-will to his successor. At this day there is no repre-
sentative of the old firm.” Forgotten Novels: Dublin

The following Bibliography had been some little while in the
printer’s hands when there was issued The Minerva Press
iy go-i 820 By Dorothy Blakey, Ph.D. London Printed For The
Bibliographical Society At The University Press, Oxford 1939
(for 1935). Miss Blakey by concentrating upon a particular
press during a particular period has naturally been able to
handle her material in far greater detail than would be possible
in the case of a one volume Bibliography the scope of which
extends over nearly two hundred years, and hence is necessarily
set out on quite another plan. The industry of Miss Blakey’s
research is evident, and The Minerva Press iygo-1820
remains a valuable contribution to the Gothic library.

Whilst I have not attempted to include in this Bibliography
the “roman noir ” or the “ Schauerroman ” a few French
and German writers are admitted, either because their works
were frequently translated into English by our native novelists,
or else because they directly influenced the development of the
Gothic Novel in England. This I feel to be allowable, if only
for the one fact that such references, which for the most part

xii

PREFACE

cost a good deal of time and trouble to check up and trace, will
certainly prove grateful to scholars.

For the same reason I have drawn attention to various
dramatizations of Gothic Novels.

Of the ten plays of Henry Siddons there has been occasion to
list only one, The Sicilian Romance. For the rest the Biographia
Dramatica and Genest must be consulted. The Sicilian
Romance, however, is intrinsically important, as also is all the
dramatic work of Maturin.

None the less I would have it clearly understood that I did
not conceive any particular treatment of these parerga to lie
within my province.

This observation equally applies to the Gothic pataches, those
wee oberins the chapbooks which swarmed from the parasitic
presses of Houndsditch and the Borough and Finsbury Square,
from Tegg, Dean and Munday, Roe, Harrild, J. Ker, and Ann
Lemoine. I have (as I hope) sufficiently recognized the existence
of the sixpenny “ blue books ” — so called from their 36 pages
being roughly stitched into a cover of flimsy blue paper — without
attempting exhaustively to apprize their numbers.

It should perhaps be pointed out that there will be found
some entries under authors’ names in the Index of Authors
which have not been duplicated in detail in the body of the
Bibliography. The reason for this is that whilst in not a few
cases it seemed useful and even necessary to give a complete
list of an author’s work it was obviously not required to devote
to his every treatise or monograph, which had no connexion
with imaginative writing, such additional space and considera-
tion as must have swelled the Bibliography to a second volume
without any real profit or advantage. At the same time the
student is advised to consult in the course of his inquiries both
the Index of Authors and the Bibliography proper.

It is with very real regret that so long a list of Addenda
has been found necessary. I can only ask those who use this
Bibliography generously to bear in mind that the proofs were
corrected at a most unhappy time under the most untoward
and difficult conditions. Several libraries, for example, in which
I had planned important and extensive research circumstances
rendered impossible of access. It even became a question
whether publication should be indefinitely and quite indetermin-
ately postponed, or whether, as was in fine and I believe well
decided, the Bibliography should be issued in spite of so serious
lets and unavoidable mischance.

A GOTHIC BIBLIOGRAPHY

It is a pleasure to thank Mr. Michael Sadleir, a great votary
of the Gothic Novel, for the kindly interest he has shown in the
present Bibliography, and for the generous courtesy with which
he has replied to my frequent questions fabulis de Gothicis. I
am especially obliged to him for reading through and checking
the Miss Braddon section in the “ Index of Authors.” His
intimate knowledge and authority afforded me many valuable
suggestions.

Mr. Robert Black of the University of Virginia has not only
most generously spared neither time nor trouble in discussing
with me and disentangling many perplexed points concerning
Gothic romances and their authors, but has further entrusted
me with rare novels from his magnificent collection, sending
them from America to England. I am moreover indebted to
him for permitting me the full use of the Catalogue of his
Library to the very great and manifest advantage of my Title
Index.

To that eminent scholar Mr. Frederick Coykendall of New
York I owe particular thanks for much real and truly appre-
ciated encouragement during the progress of my work. This
took a very practical form, for he has been good enough to allow
me to print several important notes upon that important book
The Monk, as also upon Tales of Terror. Many another page
of my Bibliography has profited by his wide knowledge and
sympathy.

For their encouragement and for help so freely given in
various ways I am gratefully obliged to Mr. C. R. Dawes, who
read through and checked the de Sade section in the “ Index
of Authors,” and with whom I have to my advantage discussed
details not a few; to Mr. F. C. Francis; Sir Ambrose Heal;
Mons. Maurice Heine; the late Mr. C. A. Ransom; and Sir
John Squire. The article on Robert Huish appeared in Notes
and Queries, n February, 1939; Vol. 176, No. 6; whence it
is reprinted by kind permission of the Editor.

During the whole course of a long and laborious piece of
work I have been greatly aided by the practical assistance and
many valuable suggestions of Mr. Hector Stuart-Forbes, who
will (I trust) accept this very' inadequate recognition and
acknowledgement.

of Francois Guillaume Ducray-Duminil. It was reprinted in
at least twenty editions, and in 1800 was dramatized with
great success by Guilbert de Pixerecourt. This play, Ccelina,
was adapted for the English stage by Holcroft as A Tale of
Mystery: a melodrama, Covent Garden, Saturday, November
13th, 1802. Holcroft’s version for many years maintained
its place in the London and provincial repertories. This title-

Women As They Are. A Novel in Four Volumes, By Mrs.
Parsons. Author of Mysterious Warnings, etc. London:
Printed for William Lane, at the Minerva-Press, Leadenhall-
Street. MDCCXCVI. Frontispiece to the First Edition.

The Illustration represents a highly romantic episode in the
adventures of Mary Boyle and her father, who have been
compelled by adverse circumstances to retire to the remote
and lovelier parts of Scotland. When Mary Boyle in
company with her friend Miss Gordon are exploring a
romantically ruined castle near Elgin they meet a mysterious
recluse who has taken refuge there. This proves to be a
Captain Morgan, who in India, having seduced the wife
of Miss Gordon’s brother, killed the unhappy husband in a
duel. Overwhelmed with remorse Morgan fled, and
immured himself in the Mount, Elgin. When he hears Miss
Gordon’s name he falls, senseless with horror, to the ground
amid the broken walls, so injuring himself that a few days
later he expires. Miss Gordon swoons in the arms of Mary
Boyle, whose father together with Mr. Ross, minister of the
parish, are seen flying to their assistance. Women As They
Are is an epistolary novel, and the chief events in the story
are related by the heroine, Mary Boyle, in letters to her
former gouvernante, the amiable Mrs. Rowe.

Women As They Are is a work of exceptional merit and
interest. The varied characterization of the different writers
of the letters is admirably portrayed and maintained through-
out their correspondence ....... 560

ANN OF SWANSEA. Mrs. Julia Ann Curtis, nee
Kemble, and formerly Mrs. Ann Hatton (1764-1838)
Joseph Knight and other authorities state that this
lady was the fifth child of Roger Kemble, and the
sister of John Philip Kemble and Sarah Siddons.
Betrayed by a bigamous first marriage with Mr.
Hatton, she was left a widow by her second husband,
Mr. Curtis, with whom she had been compelled to
fly from America on account of the yellow fever. She
obtained considerable notoriety and greatly scandalized
her family by an attempt to poison herself in West-
minster Abbey. Eventually she settled at Swansea,
subsisting upon a small pension made up by Mrs.
Siddons and other relatives, since the hotel she opened,
the “ house of assembly,” the “ school of dancing and
deportment,” had all proved insufficient for her sup-
port. She is said to have been a mistress of Edmund
Kean and to have written a drama for him whilst he
was a member of Andrew Cherry’s company, whose
circuit included Swansea, Carmarthen and Haverford-
west in South Wales; Waterford and Clonmel in
Ireland. Kean acted with Cherry 1809-11. Mrs.
Curtis was a celebrated local figure, a favourite and
frequent contributor of verses to the Swansea news-
paper, Cambrian. Percy Fitzgerald, The Kembles
(1871), Vol. II. pp. 98-107, says that Mrs. Ann Curtis
proclaimed herself up and down the town as the
youngest sister of Mrs. Siddons and intensely annoyed
the famous tragedienne by her general behaviour and
proceedings. At length Mrs. Siddons paid the novelist

twenty pounds a year on condition that she per-
manently resided not less than one hundred and fifty
miles from London. No doubt this or some similar
condition was attached to the annuity the Kembles
allowed their poor relation, but it seems highly im-
probable that if Mrs. Curtis had not been their sister
they would have contributed (however niggardly) to
her maintenance. With regard to her literary output
it must be acknowledged that the romances of the
prolific Mrs. Curtis are by no means lacking in quality,
and in its kind her talent is far from mediocre.

The “ drames monacles ” and novels of Baculard
D’Amaud had a great influence on the development
of Gothic romance. His tone is often more than a little
morbid, and he reflects Young’s Night Thoughts, Her-
vey’s Meditations among the Tombs, and the sensibility
of Richardson. A large number of the stories (many
dealing with England) from his Collections were trans-
lated into English. Thus Sophia Lee translated
Varbeck (. Nouvelles historiques, Tome premier, seconde
nouvelle) as Warbeck, a pathetic Tale. There are also
English versions of The History of Sidney and Volsan,
Dublin, 1772; Fanny, or The Happy Repentance,
1777; The History of Count Gleichen, 1786;
Lorimon; or Man in Every Stage of Life, 1803 ; and
other pieces by D’Arnaud.

The above is a fairly representative list of D’Amaud’s
work as influencing the Gothic romance, but it is by no

means complete.

When G. W. M. Reynolds severed his connexion with

John Dicks, Vickers commissioned Thomas Miller to
write the Third Series, and E. L. Blanchard to write
the Fourth Series of The Mysteries of London, of
which the First and Second Series were the work of
Reynolds. It must be allowed that neither Miller nor
Blanchard can be considered as successful as Reynolds,
and the Third and Fourth Series fell far below the
original conception of the work. Blanchard was a very
busy miscellaneous writer and a leading dramatic critic.

His pantomimes were established favourites. For
further details see under his name in the Dictionary
of National Biography.

INDEX OF AUTHORS

the publisher suggested the idea of travesties of the
popular Dickens, and he urged that the pen-name of
“ Boaz ” should be used. It was pointed out to him
that this was too biblical, whilst the letter “ z ” being
so nearly “ Boz ” might involve legal proceedings.

After some discussion “ Bos ” was fixed upon, and in
spite of protests from Charles Dickens and his pub-
lishers Lloyd issued “ Bos ” tales very successfully
for five or more years.

The illustrations to Pickwick in America are said to be
by George Cruickshank, and the book in the reprint of
1855 was assigned to G. YV. M. Reynolds, which seems
an erroneous attribution.

A similar Dickensian piracy is Dombey and Daughter,
by R. Nicholson, 1848.

Maxwell, Chapter XVII, “My Mother’’ for some
account of Miss Braddon and how she commenced
novelist.

Three Times Dead ; or, The Secret of the Heath 1854
When Miss Braddon was staying at a farmhouse near
Beverly, Yorkshire, Empson a Beverly printer who
had noticed many of her verses and sketches in local
papers commissioned her to write for him a story which
“ should combine the humour of Dickens with the
plot construction of G. W. M. Reynolds.” Three
Times Dead had just been issued in penny numbers
with fierce woodcuts of the E. Lloyd school of illustra-
tion when Empson failed. On the title page the main
imprint is “London : W. M. Clark, 16 and 17 Warwick
Lane.” Empson, Beverly, is much smaller. Mr.

Michael Sadleir writes to me : “ I have a set of the
proof sheets of Three Times Dead, w'hich belonged to

1 6 A GOTHIC BIBLIOGRAPHY

James Mills, who, according to his statement written on
the fly-leaf, read the proofs for Empson. He says the
novel was published in penny numbers ‘ in the year
1854 or thereabouts.’” Three Times Dead was con-
siderably altered and appeared later as The Trail of the
Serpent, see below under this title. About 1858-9 Miss
Braddon came to London.

The Black Band ; or, The Mysteries of Midnight
The serial with which The Halfpenny journal “ started
cn its ambitious but brief career.”

Loves of Arcadia: a comedietta
Produced at the Royal Strand Theatre
The Trail of the Serpent ; or, The Secret of the Heath
Mr. Michael Sadleir writes to me : “ The first appear-
ance of The Trail of the Serpent was, I believe, in one
vol. blue cloth, 1866; Ward, Lock & Tyler. This
edition contains a Publisher’s device dated July, 1866,
describing the book as a largely rewritten version of an
earlier (unnamed) tale, now making its first appearance.
I have a letter from Maxwell to Empson, dated 1865
stating that he owns an assignment of copyright in the
book, but will consider Empson’s claim (clearly a claim
to ownership) on a basis of documents. I incline to
think negotiations delayed publication till 1866 by
which time Maxwell was (I conclude from the evi-
dence) with Ward, Lock.”

As The Trail of the Serpent the book was published in
the popular yellow back edition, 1867, and included in
the “ autograph edition.” In a letter to myself, July
28th, 1907, Miss Braddon said: “The autograph

edition in cloth, of all my books, is better than the old-
fashioned yellow back.”

The American pirated edition, New York, Dick and
Fitzgerald, retains the title Three Times Dead ; or, The
Secret of the Heath.

Preference books record an 1861 edition of The Trail
of the Serpent, but this has not hitherto been seen, and
it is strongly to be suspected that it is a ghost.

Miss Braddon during her long literary career did a vast
amount of miscellaneous work. In her earlier days she
contributed to the old Sporting Magazine under the
noms de plume of “ Gilbert Forrester ” and “ A
Member of the Burton Hunt.” For the Poet’s Corner
of provincial newspapers she composed not only songs
and sentimental verses, but parodies and even political
squibs. She conducted for many years various maga-
zines, amongst others Belgravia A London Magazine,
and herein were serialized a number of her novels.

A novel, Mirk Abbey, which has been ascribed to Miss
Braddon is the work of James Payn. It was published
anonymously. Mirk Abbey. By the author of Lost Sir
Massingberd, etc. 3 vols., 8vo. London, 1866.
Reprinted from “ Chambers Journal.”

Not a few of Miss Braddon’s novels were pirated in

H.M.T. writing in Notes and Queries, February 16th,

the end of the last century, and the beginning of this,
published a great many novels, some under the name
of Gabrielle [should be Gabrielli] which had for a time
some success.” There is ample contemporary evidence
for the identity of Mrs. Meeke and Gabrielli.

imprimes de la Bibliotheque Rationale, Tome
LXXXIX, 1926, Col. 872-873, by a curious error these
two romances are ascribed to Francis Lathom,
probably owing to some initial confusion of Gaspey’s
The Mystery; or, Forty Years Ago (1820) with
Lathom’s Mystery ( 1 800). The Catalogue general also
has “ Lathom (Francis), pseud, de Sophie Francis.”

Again, Tome LIV (1913) Colonne 433, it enters
“ Frances (Sophie) Pseud, de Lathom (Francis)” Miss
Sophia L. Francis has been confused with Lathom.

but this appears to be an error. Elizabeth Caroline
Duncan was a niece of Miss Duncan, a favourite
actress of the earlier years of the eighteenth century.

In melodrama she was a charming heroine and created
such roles as Alexina, the Heroine of Montgatz, in
Theodore Edward Hook’s Tekeli; or, The Siege of
Montgatz (adapted from Pixerecourt’s Tekeli; ou le
siege de Montgatz, Paris, December 29th, 1803)
produced at Drury Lane with great success on Satur-
day, October 28th, 1806. Elizabeth Caroline Duncan
and her sister kept a school for girls in a side street
off the City Road, then a very genteel part of the town.

She married Grey, a reporter of the Morning
Chronicle, and for many years was general secretary
to Edward Lloyd, the publisher, and general editress
of his publications. In 1846 she won his One
Hundred Guinea Prize with Ordeal by Touch. Mrs.

Grey wrote a number of “ penny dreadfuls ” for Lloyd
as well as other more sober and restrained novels. A
number of ladies contributed to Lloyd’s stock, includ-
ing such famous names as Mrs. Gore and Mrs. Bray,
but they were careful to remain anonymous. Mrs.

Grey contributed to The London Journal and other
periodicals. Her nephew, Mr. Duncan, was a well-
known newspaper reporter, and his son, Walter
Duncan, a free-lance reporter, died in 1904. Mrs.

Grey died in 1869, being seventy-one years old. She
appears to have been in comfortable circumstances
after an industrious and active life.

Contes a nos enfants 1824

The Baronne de Mere was so prolific a writer that the
above fifty-two titles do not exhaust the list of her
works. When she published under her own name the
sentiment is generally decorous, she does not offend
piety, and her politics are sound. In romances which
she gave the world under such pseudonyms as de
Boissy, Geller, de Faverolles, and which were supposed
to come from the pen of a man she is often very
obscene, and what is far worse even profane. The
pages of Les Capucins, Les Trois Moines, Le Diable
ermite are unblushingly licentious. On the other hand,
in her later life she wrote works beyond reproach such
as Contes a nos enfants, and devotional biographies.
Her Saint Vincent de Paul may be read with much
profit.

Les Trois Moines was translated by J H. Sarratt as
The Three Monks! ! ! 2 vols., Crosby, 1803.

a letter addressed by Holcroft, dated Clipstone Street,
30 Fitzroy Square, November 8th, 1808, to Cadell
and Davies the publishers, offering them an original
novel in 3 vols., of which two are ready and the third
will be ready before Christmas. The latter is marked
on the margin “ Declined.” It has been conjectured
that this refers to Memoirs of Bryan Perdue, but this
is impossible, as the work had been published by Long-
man, Hurst, three years before. It can only be
supposed that the novel in question was never printed.
It is possible (but hardly probable) that the manu-
script still exists. The Memoirs of the late Thomas
Holcroft, written by Himself, first edition, 3 vols.,
1816, and several times reprinted is a work of great
importance, but Holcroft was an avowred atheist.
There is a very ample and detailed Bibliography of
Thomas Holcroft by Elbridge Colby, Columbia Uni-
versity, Notes and Queries, 11th Series, Volume X,
commencing July 4th, 1914, and continuing until
March 27th, 1915, nth Series, Volume XI. This
was printed, New York, 1922, and is the standard
authority.

HUISH, Robert (1777-1850)

The suggestion of Mr. Askew ( Notes and Queries,
clxxv 172, 446) that Robert Lluish was a Catholic is
extremely interesting, and it were very much to be
wished that we could ascertain something definite on
this point. Contra, I can only offer internal evidence
and internal evidence is notoriously tricky and incon-
clusive. Yet it is difficult to see how a Catholic author
could have written some of the passages which occur in
Huish’s two romances The Sorcerer, 1795, and The
Brothers ; or, The Castle of Niolo, 1820. The Sorcerer,
for example, commences with a violent and wildly un-
hist orical diatribe against the ages of “ monkish sway ”
and when “ brother Hilario,” a most saintly old
priest, makes his appearance we are at once told that he
alone of the whole fraternity stripped “ Religion of the
fantastic ornaments in which Fanaticism and Priest-
craft had enveloped her.” This is practically the
tone throughout the tale, although it may be argued
that The Sorcerer is a translation from the German,
and therefore Huish is not responsible for the expres-
sion of the original, which it was his business to render
faithfully.

The period of The Brothers is also the centuries of

7°

A GOTHIC BIBLIOGRAPHY

“ monkish sway ” — this actual phrase occurs in both
romances — and almost without exception “ the whole
cowled tribe ” are presented in the most lurid light.
Such blunders as “ a Franciscan monk ” and “ a
Carmelite monk ” are perhaps not to be surprised at,
but Huish shows himself very much at sea when
speaking of Catholic emblems, whilst his ignorance of
quite elementary details of belief and practice is such
that a child’s catechism would have set him right.
It is this ignorance which leads him to write of a
doctrine he clearly does not in the least understand as
“ farcical, not to say impious.” His monks of Arien-
heim keep up the crusted old tradition, that is to say
they “ carouse over their glasses and laugh at the
credulity ” of the simple devotees who load their house
with gifts. Very delightful are their appeals to their
“ holy patron, St. Benedictine ” ! Perhaps I should
observe that one of the blackest villains — and there
are not a few — in the romance, is “ Sazzano the
atheist,” who is described as “ a consummate fiend.”
Any mention of nuns in The Brothers is in the very
vein of Matthew Gregory Lewis. One of Huish’s
later romances, The Nun of Gnadenzell, 1846, is
highly sensational, and was in fact published by the
most famous and popular purveyor of “ bloods ” and
“dreadfuls,” Edward Lloyd, 231, High Street, Shore-
ditch.

It seems almost certain that Robert Huish the
author was in some way connected with — he may have
been a nephew of — the Robert Huish of Nottingham
whose daughter Mary married Sir Robert Bewicke of
Closehouse. It is significant, as Mr. Askew has so
rightly emphasized, that this lady died in a convent
at Pontoise, c. 1779.

Robert Huish the author, son of Mark Huish of
Nottingham, was born in that city anno 1777. Whilst
yet in his teens he entered as a student at the Uni-
versity of Frankfort-on-the-Main, thus acquiring an
exceptionally good knowledge of the German language
and literature. At a rather later date he was for
some time resident in Russia, presumably in a tutorial
capacity. Most of his life was spent in London,
and he died in Camberwell in April, 1850.

INDEX OF AUTHORS

In spite of a few faults of taste and some foolish-
ness in his writings, it cannot be denied that Robert
Huish was possessed of considerable talent. The
bitter sneer of the Quarterly Review which spoke of
him as “ an obscure and unscrupulous scribbler ” is
unmerited and untrue. In his role of novelist Huish
could tell his tale well ; his complicated plots are gener-
ally knit with care and neatly enough unravelled.
Myself, I have been chiefly concerned with this author
as a Gothic romancist, and as such he is an interesting
link, his first fiction appearing in the year before Mrs.
Radcliffe’s The Italian, and his last being published
when Dickens was engaged upon David Copperfield
and Thackeray was midway with Pendennis.

Huish was a very prolific miscellaneous writer, and the
following list of his works with a few accompanying
details may prove useful.

Weber, 1795. A translation of Die Teufelsbesch-

There is reason to believe that from about 1840 to

name that it might be very difficult, if not impossible,
to identify Huish’s novels.

William Henry Ireland. “ His name, if his father is
to be credited, is Samuel William Henry Ireland,”
Monthly Mirror, Dec. 1796, p. 490. The contem-
porary MS. annotator of a copy, British Museum,
of An Authentic Account of the Shakesperian MSS.,
1796, writes: “I amj informed that his baptism is

registered that year (1777) in the parish of St. Clement
Danes by the name of William Henry Irwyn, accord-
ing to his mother’s name, who was then a married
woman, living with Mr. Ireland, separated from her
husband.”

William Henry Ireland is famous for his amazing
forgery, the pseudo-Shakespearean Vortigern, which
was produced at Drury Lane on 2nd April, 1796.
Vortigern was published 8vo, 1799. Henry the Second,
An Historical Drama which, had Ireland succeeded,
was also to have been presented as by Shakespeare,
was similarly issued, 8vo, 1799.

After the collapse of Vortigern Ireland acknowledged
his forgeries in An Authentic Account of the Shakes-
perian Manuscripts, published by Debrett, 8vo, at a
shilling. “A Triumphant avowal of the Forgery of
which so much has lately been said and written,”
Monthly Mirror, December, 1796, p. 481. This
Authentic Account in 1805 was expanded into The
Confessions of William and Henry Ireland, containing
the Particulars of his Fabrication of the Shakespeare
Manuscripts ... In spite of the fact that the
Authentic Account had been pirated it had become so
scarce that within a few years the shilling pamphlet
fetched a guinea at public auction. Hence there was
a great demand for the Confessions. Ireland became

Since many of Hannah Maria Jones’ novels were pub-

Square), “ To The Reader ” before The Gipsey Chief,

she says “ More than twenty years have ‘ dragged

their slow length along,’ since the authoress of the
Gipsey Chief launched her light and frail bark on the
troubled sea of literature.” She complains of the
cruel wrong ” she has suffered from “ pirates and
robbers.” Thus her bibliography is made especially
intricate and obscured on account of the plagiarisms,
the unauthorized reprints and spurious editions of her

work which swarmed even during her lifetime. Her
popularity was enormous, and continued so that until
the end of the nineteenth century many of her
romances were appearing in cheapest guise with crudest
woodcuts, generally without date or printer’s name.
J. S. Pratt of Stokesley, Yorkshire, in his “ Pocket
Series ” (c. 1840-50) ; Milner & Co., Paternoster Row ;
W. Nicholson and Sons of Halifax (later of Wakefield) ;
S. D. Ewins & Co., Paternoster Row; were all prolific
purveyors of Hannah Maria Jones’ novels in a more
respectable but strictly economical format. In Feb-
ruary, 1854, John Lofts, 262 Strand, advertised an
edition of The Gipsy Mother by Hannah Maria Jones.
“ The publisher having purchased the copyrights of
the most celebrated works of the above talented and
popular authoress (who is still living) begs respectfully

ture contributed to the Knickerbocker Magazine in

Nx\UBERT, Christiane Benedigte Eugenie (1756-
1819), daughter of Dr. Hebenstreit of Leipzig, married
Johann Ernst Naubert. Born at Leipzig, 13th Sep-
tember, 1756, she died 12th January, 1819.

Her works, including translations from the English,
number more than 80 volumes. She made use of
several pseudonyms, and issued her famous Hermann
von Unna, 2 vols, 1788, as Professor Kramer, which
led to confusion with Karl Gottlob Cramer (1758-
1817), author of Der deutsche Alcibiades, 3 vols., 1790
(reprinted 1814, etc.), to whom Hermann von Unna
is often mistakenly ascribed. See, for example,
Bayard Quincy Morgan, Bibliography of German
Literature in English Translation, Univ. of Wisconsin
Studies in Language and Literature, No. 16 ; Madison,
1922 ; p. 80, under Cramer, Number 551. For English
translations from Eugenie Naubert see under Kramer.
It may be remarked that K. G. Cramer himself em-
ployed more than one pseudonym : Heinse ; Mullers ;
Milbillers. Among Christiane Naubert’s best-known

romances are :

Walther von Montbarry. 2 vols. 1786

Geschichte der Grafin Thekla von Thurn, 2 vols. 1788

The above are the best-known romances of Pigault-
Lebrun, but these titles do not exhaust the list. When
collected 1822-24, eleven years before his death and
whilst he was still busy, his Oeuvres completes ran to
twenty volumes. Born at Calais on 8th April, 1753,
he died at La Celle-Saint-Cloud, Seine-et-Oise, on 24th
July, 1835. A dramatic trifle II faut croire a sa femme
having been received with some favour encouraged
him to write a more regular comedy, Charles et
Caroline, w'hich was given at the Comede Fran^aise
in 1778. This is said to be founded on incidents in
his own life. He followed it up with other plays, such
as Les Rivaux d’eux memes in the same year ; La
Mere rivale de sa fille ; Le Pessimiste. Pigault-
Lebrun produced much miscellaneous work, but his
novels established his reputation. Of these the eccen-
tric Les Barons de Felsheim and Monsieur Botte are.
generally considered the best.

Those of his novels which were published in English
proved very popular, and the following — all save one
title from the Minerva Press- — had a wide circulation :

The Shrove-tide Child; or, The Son of a Monk r 7 97

PREST, Thomas Peckett ( c . 1810-1879)

Prest was a relative of the Right Rev. Edward Prest,
Archdeacon of Durham during the eighteen sixties,
and he prepared for the printers not a few of this
divine’s theological treatises and sermons. Prest com-
menced his career by adapting farces and melodramas
from the French. At one time he supplied many
dramatic pieces to the Britannia Theatre (or Saloon),
High Street, Hoxton, which from 1841 to 1849 was
managed by Mr. Lane. Such scripts were never
printed, and never intended for publication.

Prest, moreover, was a talented musician and writer of
songs, and under various pen-names he composed
both words and music for more than one popular
success of George Leybourne, “ the Great Vance,” and
other famous music-hall artists of the day.

He further busied himself with a quantity of miscel-
lanea, and contributed to The Hornet and to several
other contemporary humorous or scandalous journals.
His favourite house-of-call was for many years The
White Swan in Salisbury Court, Fleet Street, E.G.,
hard by the offices of his publisher, Edward Lloyd.

Produced at the Royal Standard Theatre, Shoreditch,

2nd November, 1854. Adapted by Prest from his
romance of the same title.

The Miser of Shoreditch. A drama by Angelina.
Published New York 1857

To Prest has been attributed the plagiarism of Mrs.
■Crowe’s famous novel Adventures of Susan Hopley;
or, Circumstantial Evidence, 1841, as Susan Plopely,

1842.

Since many of Prest’s romances were published with-
out a date and in penny numbers, and many also are
anonymous, the date of issue in several cases can only
be arrived at by some accidental detail or circumstance.

So great also is the confusion concerning Prest’s author-
ship that the British Museum Catalogue assigns
Kathleen; or, The Secret Marriage, 1842, and Blanche
Heriot; or, The Chertsey Curfew, 1851, to Clara

Reeve, who died in 1807.

Complete for One Penny. London : George Purkess,
Compton Street, Soho, 1853. These Penny Romances
were the direct descendants of the Gothic bluebooks.
For the most part they were merely the story of popular
melodramas (some of which I have noted) resolved into
fiction for Purkess’ Library. Very often the melodrama
itself was the dramatization of a famous novel. Thus
Eugene Aram is Lord Lytton’s romance; Herne the
Hunter is Ainsworth’s Windsor Castle; and Susan
Hopley Mrs. Crowe’s novel of the same name.

land, it has been said, Uncle Tom’s Cabin was “a
triumph of pirated editions,” and the book was at once

“ unwarrantably employed.”

of Mrs. Mary Ann Radcliffe, whose Manfrone ; or,
The One-Handed Monk was so frequently ascribed to

find that The Fate of Velina De Guidova and
Radzivil are given to Mrs. Ann Radcliffe (nee Ward)

Mrs. Mary Ann Radcliffe, (the name is indifferently

more than once reprinted in cheap editions as the

Regnault-Warin sometimes wrote as Saint-Edme. The

his romances. Born at Bar le Due in 1775, he died at

vast deal of miscellaneous work. He was for some
time, in his younger days, rather unwisely mixed up
with politics, and the appearance of Le Cimitiere de la
Madeleine would have been followed by a prosecution
and serious results to the writer had it not been for the
intervention of Josephine. Regnault-Warin admired
her devotedly, and in 1819 published, 2 vols., 8vo,

REYNOLDS, George William Macarthur
(1814-1879)

There is extant a note in Reynolds’ own handwriting
which states that he was born at Sandwich, Kent, on
July 23rd, 1814. His father, Sir George Reynolds,
who had been a post captain of some celebrity in the
royal navy, intended him for the army and he entered
at Sandhurst in 1828. Sir George, however, died
before his son had finished his course leaving him a.
fortune of £120,000, whilst Lady Reynolds only sur-
vived her husband a few months. Thereupon, in
1830, he left Sandhurst, recollections of which he has
used in his novels, and travelled on the continent,
settling in Paris. Reynolds himself said that he com-
menced author at the age of twenty, and upon his
majority in 1835 he established himself a proprietor
of the Librairie des Etrangers, 55 rue Neuve — St.
Augustin, at the same time issuing a daily English poli-
tical newspaper The London and Paris Courier.
Upon the failure of these literary ventures which
absorbed a large part of his capital, he returned to
London and became editor of The Old Monthly Maga-
zine, 1837 and 1838. It was during this time that he
commenced Pickwick Abroad which met with great
success. It has been shrew'dly surmised, although it
cannot be certainly known, that in these earlier years
he supplied Edward Lloyd, the well-known publisher,
with not a few anonymous romances. His study The
Modern Literature of France, 2 vols., has much merit
and was highly esteemed. In 1839 Robert Macaire
followed and proved very successful, whilst Master
Timothy’s Bookcase ran through five editions in less
than four years. As editor of The London Journal ,
No. 1, March 1st, 1845, Reynolds achieved fame and
fortune, and it was in the pages of the Journal that
many of his best known works first appeared, serials on
a similar plan continuing in Reynolds’s Miscellany
after his difference with George Stiff, George Vickers,
and Abraham Reynolds.

Faust ran in The London Journal from October 4th,
1845, to July 1 8th, 1846, and enormously increased
the circulation of this periodical. The Mysteries of
London which Reynolds had commenced early in

INDEX OF AUTHORS

147

1845, and which with its sequel (or continuation) The
Mysteries of the Court of London was issued in penny
weekly numbers over eleven years, until 1856,, estab-
lished him as the most popular writer of the day, the
only possible rival being J. F. Smith.

From 1840 Reynolds was in charge of the foreign intel-
ligence department of the London Dispatch, but any
discussion of his political activities for all that they
played so important a part in his life, and the founda-
tion of Reynolds’s Weekly Newspaper, No. 1, Sunday,
May 5th, lie entirely outside our scope.

In 1848 he was living at Cleasby Villa, Tollington
Park, Hornsey. About the year 1844 Reynolds mar-
ried, and his wife Mrs. Susannah Frances Reynolds
enjoyed no small reputation as a novelist, two at least
of her works, Gretna Green 1847-8, and Wealth and
Poverty, 1848, attaining great popularity and running
into several editions. Their eldest son, George Edward
Reynolds, died very early when he was scarcely seven
years old, (before 1852), and in the old churchyard
of Herne where he was buried there is a monument to
his memory.

Reynolds was the author of a very large number of
works, the last collected edition by John Dicks com-
prising 28 titles and 36 volumes. To these we can add
at least a dozen more names, and yet the tale is by no
means complete.

Owing to the serialization of many of his romances
in popular journals and the fact that others were pub-
lished in weekly penny numbers and constantly being
most actively set in circulation, reissue following hard
on reissue, and edition edition, the Bibliography of
G. W. M. Reynolds proves intricate and complicated
to the last degree.

Towards the end of his life Reynolds’s political views
underwent considerable modification. The famous
author and once prominent publicist drew further and
further into retirement, and I have been given to
understand that latterly he had a very deep sense and
consciousness of religion. He died on June 17th, 1879.
Reynolds left one surviving son, whom I have heard
spoken of with affection and respect by men of letters
who had enjoyed his friendship. Mr. George Reynolds

No. 52 completed Vol. I., and each volume was fur-
nished with a title-page and Index, forming a Supple-
mentary Number, price id. Vol. I., “beautifully
bound,” complete was issued on October 23rd, 1845.
No. 53 (the first no. of Vol. II) was issued at the end
of September, 1845. Vol. II and The First Series
were completed with No. 105, published on September
19th, 1846. Vol. II was almost immediately issued,
“ beautifully bound,” price 6s. 6 d.

The Second Series, Vol. Ill, introducing a new and
original tale, commenced with No. 1 , issued on October
3rd, 1846, and continued through 52 weekly nos.
Vol. Ill, the First of the Second Series, was advertised
on 9th October, 1847, complete, “Now Ready,
Beautifully Bound in Red Cloth, Gilt Back and Let-
tered, Price Six Shillings and Sixpence.” George
Vickers, London ; A. and W. Galignani, Brussels ;
Wahlen, Leipzig, Jugel. No. 1 of the Second Volume
of the Second Series (Vol. IV), and continued in 52
nos., until 1848.

Reynolds had a difference with George Stiff, the pro-
prietor of the London Journal, and George Vickers the
publishers, and severed his connexion with that paper.
None the less (see his Address to the Public) Reynolds’s
Miscellany, No. 10, p. 160, Vol. I, New Series, Sep-
tember 1 6th, 1848, he completed the Second Series of
The Mysteries of London in 104 Nos. according to
his agreement with Mr. Stiff.

The Third Series (two volumes) of The Mysteries of
London was entrusted by Stiff to Thomas Miller,
whose Godfrey Malvern was being serialized in The
London Journal, commencing March, 1849. Godfrey
Malvern concluded on August 1 8th, 1849. Fortu-
nately for the paper J. F. Smith had now been secured
as principal writer, and Stanfield Hall had commenced
on May 19th, 1849.

The first number of the Third Series of The Mysteries
of London, the work of Miller, was published on Wed-
nesday, September 20th, 1848, and ran into the
uniform 104 nos., two vols. of 52 nos. each.

G. W. M. Reynolds had now associated himself with

I50 A GOTHIC BIBLIOGRAPHY

John Dicks, and issued Reynolds’s Miscellany (First
Series). Reynolds’s Miscellany, No. 1, New Series, ap-
peared on Saturday, July 15th, 1848. Reynolds
strongly protested against a spurious work, Reynolds’s
Magazine, which was to be imposed upon the public
in lieu of Reynolds’s Miscellany. Legal proceedings
were instituted in consequence of the “ scandalous
opposition got up by Mr. Stiff, George Vickers, and
Abraham Reynolds, through the medium of Reynolds’s
Magazine.” Miller’s Third Series (2 vols.) is not as
well written as Reynolds’ First and Second Series, and
there was felt to be a distinct falling-off, which caused
the proprietor of The London Journal to commission
the Fourth Series of The Mysteries of London (2 vols.)
from Edward Leman Blanchard, who thus wrote The
Mysteries of London; or, Lights and Shadows of
London Life, 2 vols., 52 penny nos. each, 1849-50,
number 1 being published on Saturday, September
22nd, 1849.

Blanchard’s work falls far below Reynolds.

The Mysteries of London was frequently re-issued
both by George Vickers, and (Series I and II, Rey-
nolds’ work) by John Dicks. A new edition, 2 vols.,
bound in red cloth. Each series 13s., the two series
£1 6s.; single volumes 6s. 6d. W. M. Clark, Pater-
noster Row. 1854.

Dicks (c. 1890) advertises, First and Second Series,
each series of 2 vols., complete in itself, price 13$.
An American edition de luxe with new illustrations
was issued in six volumes about 1900.

Reynolds’s romance (to date) was produced at the
Marylebone Theatre, London, on May 1 8th, 1846.

The Mysteries of the Court of London 1848-56

Published by John Dicks.

Reynolds had prepared a vast amount of matter for a
Third Series of The Mysteries of London and this he
utilized under another Title, The Mysteries of the
Court of London. Thus the First Series, 2 vols., of
The Mysteries of the Court of London is precisely the
same tale which it had been his intention to give as
the Third Series of The Mysteries of London. Rey-
nolds’s Miscellany, No. 10, Vol. I (p. 160) New Series,
September 1 6th, 1848.

The Mysteries of the Court of London, illustrated by
Henry Anelay, weekly Penny Numbers, Monthly Six-
penny Parts, commenced (No. 1) in September, 1848.

The work ran into Four Series of 2 volumes each. At
the end of Vol. VIII (the second volume of the Fourth
Series), No. 102, Reynolds has a Postscript in which he
says that “ Every week, without a single intermission
during a period of eight years, has a Number under
this title been issued to the public. Its precensor The
Mysteries of London ranged over four years. [He does
not, of course, recognize Miller and Blanchard’s work.]

For twelve years, therefore, have I hebdomadally
issued to the world a fragmentary portion of that
which, as one vast whole, may be termed an
Encyclopaedia of Tales. This Encyclopaedia consists
of twelve volumes, comprising six hundred and twenty-
four weekly Numbers. Each Number has occupied
me upon an average seven hours in the composition
. . . four thousand three hundred and sixty-eight
hours.” He adds that his regularity of routine “ will
account to the public for the facility with which I
have been enabled to write so many other works
during the same period, and yet to allow myself ample
leisure for recreation and for healthful exercise.”

In the Third and Fourth Series of The Mysteries
of the Court of London the incidents have little or

152 A GOTHIC BIBLIOGRAPHY

no reference to the British Court. Yet, Reynolds
argues that the title cannot be regarded as a misnomer,
since the Royal Court in the proper acceptance of the
term is not limited to the circle of the Sovereign but
includes the aristocracy, and these tales deal with
persons of highest quality if not actually with royalty
itself.

The Mysteries of the Court 1 of London was several
times re-issued by John Dicks. The first re-
issue (in penny nos.) of the First Series commenced on
Saturday, February 22nd, 1851. Dicks (c. 1890)

The Baroness of Grandmanoir ; The Warrior’s Love ;
The Odalisque ; The Broken Statue ; The Gipsy Boy;
Worries of Mr. Chickpick ; and The Dangers of
Circumstantial Evidence were reprinted in one volume.
I have thought it of interest to reprint this extract from
The Bookseller, but it should be remarked that the list
is very inexact. This serves to show that even during
his lifetime it was difficult to catalogue the genuine
work of Reynolds. It may be noted that The Book-
seller attributes to him novels by his wife Susannah
Frances Reynolds, Gretna Green; by Hannah Maria
Jones, The Gipsey Chief; by Gabriel Alexander,
Robert Bruce and Wallace; as also by other writers.
Mysteries of the Court of Naples is probably “ The
Neapolitan Romance,” The Coral Island; or, The
Hereditary Curse, although this has been duly recorded
under its proper title.

In a similar way in certain American reprints Canon-
Bury House becomes Mysteries of the Court of Queen
Elizabeth.

The original version of Justine, first printed 1930,
texte etabli sur le manuscrit original autographe et
publie pour la premiere fois. Paris. Editions Fourcade,
in — 16. 1930. The original version of Justine was

written in the Bastille, 1787-8, but never published
until 1930 — “ avec une introduction par Maurice
Heine,” pp. liv, and 206.

Justine, ou Les Malheurs de la Vertu
“ O men ami ! la presperite du crime est comme la
foudre, dent les feux trompeurs n’embellissent un
instant l’atmosphere, que pour precipiter dans les
abimes de la mort, le malheureux qu’ils ont ebloui.”

vols., 8vo. 1791. Vol. I, 283 pp., Vol. II, 19 1 pp.

This is the first edition of Justine, which was after-
wards so curiously amplified, and it is the text followed
in the sole English translation Opus Sadicum a philo-
sophical Romance For the First Time Translated From
the Original French (Holland, iygi). With an
engraved frontispiece Paris Isidore Liseux ig, Passage

even grotesque in their barbarisms and distortion.

In spite of “ Troisieme edition ” this is actually the

A definitive edition of De Sade was projected by the
Societe du Roman Philosophique. To date three
volumes have been issued. The arrangements were :

I, Historiettes, Contes et Fabliaux (from the original
MSS.). II and III, Les 120 Journees de Sodome. It
was intended that there should have been two volumes
of the text. A third volume would have been in the
nature of a critical supplement, with an excursus,

172

A GOTHIC BIBLIOGRAPHY

textual notes, and a general commentary. Three
volumes were actually published, as noted above, 1931-
35. One volume was issued in 1931. The two follow-
ing volumes were both issued in 1935. On the failure
of the publishers, the text was completed as promised
to their subscribers, but the critical supplement, etc.,
as announced never appeared. The three volumes
therefore are all text, and the third volume is only
about half the thickness of each of the first two.

IV, Lettres inedites. Unpublished. However, in 1929
was issued Correspondence inedite du Marquis de
Sade, “ de ses proches et de ses familiers, publiee avec
une introduction des annales et des notes par Paul
Bourdin.” Paris: Libraire de France. 1 10 Boulevard
Saint-Germain. 1929. 4to., pp. xlix and 450.

For further details of the Bibliography of De Sade the
authoritative and particular studies of this author must
be consulted. In French there is the work of Mons.
Maurice Heine. In English the standard work on De
Sade is The Marquis De Sade His Life and Works by
C. R. Dawes, 1927. This is furnished with a valuable
bibliography.

De Sade left a vast number of manuscripts, and among
this material arc many romances. Three or four lines
traced upon the cover of the twentieth and last note
book containing his autograph MSS. state that he com-
posed fifty novels, stories, and romances. Of these,
sixteen, short tales were to be collected as Historiettes
and are put together under a general title le Portefeuille
d’un homme de lettres. Thirty more, classed as “ gaies
ou sombres ” and introduced by an Avertissement
were intended to make up four volumes of Contes et
Fabliaux du XVIIIe siecle par un troubadour
provenqal. Of the four that remain one was to be
utilized as a supplement, Les Filous ; a second, Les In
fortunes de la Vertu was to be amplified, and is
actually the first draft of Justine; two, Seide, conte
moral et philosophique and L’Epoux complaisant the
author was inclined to withdraw. All these were
written at the Bastille in 1787 and 1788, and are con-
tained in twenty note books of 48 pages apiece. De
Sade’s writing is extremely minute. Eighteen of these
note books are now preserved at the Bibliotheque

Nationale, Paris. Nos. II and VII are missing. In
these lost cahiers were six historiettes, la Liste du
Suisse ; la Messe trop chere ; Vhonnete Ivrogne; M’y
allez jamais sans lumiere ; le Justice venetienne ; and
Adelaide de Miramas, ou le Fanatisme protestant.
There were also five contes, la fine Mouche ; I’heureux
Exchange ; la Foyer du sang; les Reliques ; le Cure de
Prato. The conclusion of la Marquise de Taleme is
also lacking.

Among the romances which De Sade left in MS. may
be further particularized :

Isabelle de Baviere, reine de France. Roman
historique. 3 vols.

Adelaide de Brunswick, princesse de Saxe. Roman. 2
vols.

Conrad. An historical romance of the Albigenses.
Marcel: Roman.

Pholoe et gjenocrate : An epistolary novel. Unfinished.
Les Journees de Florbelle, ou la Mature devoilee, suivies
des Memoires de Vabbe de Modore et des Aventures
d’Emilie de Volnange, etc. De Sade commenced this
romance on March 5th, 1806, and completed the first
volume on the following July 10th. It was then
named Memoires d’Emilie de Valrose ou les Egaremens
du libertinage. Later, as a variant, he considered Le
Triomphe du Vice, ou la veritable Histoire de Modore.
On April 25th, 1807, he decided upon Les Journees
de Florbelle, etc., and wrote that this title was now
■“ adopte invariablement.” The romance was to be in
10 volumes, the last four of which occupy no less than
72 note books.

There are in existence other sketches, for the most part
very fragmentary, for romances and shorter tales in the
minuscular handwriting of De Sade.

De Sade’s work was certainly known to M. G. Lewis,
Francis Lathom, and other English Gothic novelists.
With regard to Lewis Mons. Maurice Heine has a
passage which to my mind puts the matter beyond a
doubt even if there were not other ample evidence that
“ The Monk ” was very well acquainted with De Sade.
Commenting upon the suggestion that Lewis drew from
Diderot, which is to say the least very far-fetched,
Mons. Heine writes : “ S’il nous est permis, a notre

174 A GOTHIC BIBLIOGRAPHY

tour d’emettre une hypothese, nous voyons mieux ce
jeune homme de seize ans, a la faveur du voyage qu’il
fit a Paris en 1792, acquerant un exemplaire de
Justine, dont la troisieme edition venait alors de
paraitre dans la celebre collection de Cazin.”

For the connexion between De Sade and the Gothic
Novel Mons. Maurice Heine, Le Marquis De Sade et
Le Roman Noir, Paris, 1933 (originally in La
Nouvelle Revue Francaise ) should be consulted.
Although brief, this is an important essay. It is true
that the note on p. 6 which urges a sharp distinction
between the roman gothique and the roman noir is
debatable, but this is an intricate point, and I fear
Mons. Heine does Walpole less than justice. It is rash,
for example, to say “ rien de viable n’est issu en droite
ligne du Chateau d’Otrante” On the other hand,
there has been much tiresome exaggeration in the other
direction.

Promenade a travers le Roman noir, by Mons. Heine
which appeared in Minotaure, No. 5, 1934, makes
some interesting points which should not be overlooked.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica, Ninth Ed., 1876, Vol.

V, p. 601, says : “ The English school of chess com-
menced about the beginning of the present [nineteenth]
century, and Sarratt was its first leader. He flourished
from 1808 to 1821 and was followed by his great pupil,

W. Lewis.”

J. H. Sarratt is a famous name in the annals of
British Chess. The date of his birth is not known,
but in 1807 he was established in London as a school-
master, and enjoyed some reputation as an elegant
Latin scholar and a literary man. He married an
actress, Camilla Dufour. This lady, who was much
admired as a dancer and who was long a favourite at
the minor theatres, had herself published (1803) a novel
Aurora; or, The Mysterious Beauty, translated from
the French. She also contributed to various periodical
publications. In the Chess world J. H. Sarratt came
into prominence as a member of the London Chess
Club, which was organized in 1807 at Tom’s Coffee
House, Comhill. Sarratt was one of the earliest
members. At the “ Chess Club ” or “ Parsloe’s ” in St.
James Street, a French expert, Verdoni, has been
engaged to succeed the famous Francois Andre
Damian Philidor, who died in 1795, and it has been
said that Verdoni had a share in the creation of an
English School of Chess owing to his influence on the
first Englishman to become a master, J. H. Sarratt.
In 1808 Sarratt published A Treatise on the Game of
Chess, 2 vols., 8vo. With the exception of a small
volume, “ Sold only at Slaughter’s Coffee House,” T he
Noble Game of Chess, 1735, by Captain Joseph
Bertin, Sarratt’s Treatise is the first original work on
Chess in English. It is dedicated to a wealthy Chess
amateur, Abraham Samuda, Esq. Sarratt already
styles himself “ Professor of Chess,” and he is spoken

of as “ the great J. H. Sarratt, whose fee was a guinea
a lesson.”

In 1813 Sarratt produced a second book on Chess,
The Works of Damiano, Ruy Lopez, and Salvio, one
vol., 8vo. Dedicated to “ the Right Hon. the Lord
Viscount Pollington, M.R.” He added a commentary
of his own on the conduct of the various games, and
also included a game from a rare treatise on Chess by
Dr. Ercole del Rio, published at Modena in 1769.

In 1817 Sarratt brought out his The Works of
Gianutio and Gustavus Selenus on Chess , 2 vols., in
which he included as those of “ an eminent player in
the beginning of the eighteenth century ” thirteen of
Berlin’s games from The Noble Game of Chess, 1735.
When he died, 1820, Sarratt was engaged upon an
original work A New Treatise on the Game of Chess
which was published, 2 vols., 396 pages in all, in 1821
as by “ J. H. Sarratt, Professor of Chess, and Author
of Several Publications on this Game.” It was
dedicated to Sir Frederick Gustavus Fowke, Bt., of
Lowesby Hall, Leicestershire. Sarratt’s chief pupil,
William Lewis (1787-1870) edited the MS. and saw it
through the press. Lewis had by now left the office
which he entered when he came to London about
1812, and made the game of Chess his principal means
of livelihood. As a frequenter of Tom’s Coffee House
he met Sarratt among whose pupils he was soon
enrolled.

In 1822 Lewis edited a Second Edition of the New
Treatise, “Revised and Improved, with additional
notes and remarks by W. Lewis, Teacher of Chess.”
The two volumes have become one of 352 pp., there
are a good many alterations and modifications in the
text, diagrams are substituted for long and detailed
descriptions of the positions of the pieces, and the price
was notably reduced.

Upon Sarratt’s death Lewis was the acknowledged
leader of London Chess.

There is no account of J. H. Sarratt in the Dictionary
of National Biography where he should have had a
place.

SEXTON BLAKE

The names of Sexton Blake the detective, his assistant
Tinker, and the bloodhound Pedro, are so famous in
the annals of sensational fiction that a brief note may
be not unacceptable.

The first Sexton Blake story, Sexton Blake, Detective
appeared on May 4th, 1894, in the second number
of a recently established halfpenny paper, The Union
Jack. At first little notice was attracted, and for some
months Sexton Blake was ignored. Later, however,
when a second and a third story were published Sexton
Blake speedily became so great a favourite that every
week for thirty-nine years The Union Jack printed an
episode of Sexton Blake. In February, 1933, the paper
was renamed The Detective Weekly with Blake as the
principal figure.

In 1915 began to appear the Sexton Blake Library,
originally published at 3d., but afterwards at 4d.
Sexton Blake stories and series of stories also appeared
in various magazines.

In 1938 The Sexton Blake Library had reached its one
thousand and second number. A Sexton Blake Annual,
coloured wrappers, was published in 1938, and this
advertises “ Further Adventures of Sexton Blake appear
every month in Sexton Blake Library, Price 4d., and
every Thursday in Detective Weekly, Price 2d.”
Naturally so many thousands of stories, the work of a
a large number of authors, and the incidents, one and
all, centring round Sexton Blake, cannot maintain an
equal level, but it is only fair to say that the best of
the tales are written with great spirit and vigour and
often unravel a most ingenious plot. Nor is it untrue
to add that the mediocre and indifferent specimens are
very few and far between.

Smith. Vol. I. 9th Edition.

SMITH, Miss Charlotte

The Republican’s Mistress 1821

This novel is sometimes ascribed to Mrs. Charlotte
Smith, but it does not appear to be by the author of
The Old Manor House.

SMITH, John Frederick (1803-1890)

John Frederick Smith was the son of George Smith,
manager of the Norwich circuit. George Smith, who
was also in the theatrical profession (a brother, not as
sometimes been supposed the father of the novelist)
died aged 78 at Grimsby, on December 19th, 1877.

It may be remembered that Francis Lathom belonged
to the Norwich Theatre. Smith whilst in his teens
wrote several dramas of which there seems to be
nothing more than a local record and which probably
were never printed, The Idiot; Deaf and Dumb (a
plagiarism for his father’s theatre of Holcroft’s famous
play); The Hoaxing Trio, a farce; and others. His

first published piece appears to be The Siege of
Colchester , 1824. Smith resided for some years in
Rome, where he was known to and in some degree a
protege of the powerful Cardinal Fesch. He was
educated by the Jesuits, and was himself (it is said)
a member of the Society of Jesus. That he was in
after life created a Papal Count by Gregory XVI is a
mere canard. It is incidentally recorded that in 1830
the “ heavy man ” of the Theatre Royal, Norwich, was
the manager’s son, J. F. Smith. Two years later he
was living in London, at Augustus Square, Regent’s
Park. He now devoted himself wholly to literature
and was working (not exclusively) for Edward Lloyd,
the publisher, then of Broad Street, Bloomsbury. In
1849 Smith had joined the staff of The London
Journal, and proved the mainstay of this popular
paper for half-a-dozen years. At the end of 1855
he left George Vickers, the proprietor of The London
Journal somewhat abruptly, and become a contributor
to (Mr. John) Cassell’s Illustrated Family Paper, a
position he had been induced to accept by no incon-
siderable fees. Ten years later (1865) he took himself
back to The London Journal, whilst the copyright of
the stories he had written for Cassell were purchased
by Vickers for £ 1 ,000, in those days a very large sum.
His popularity long undiminished, although owing to
his too ample charities and generosity he was largely
imposed upon, and his fortune wasted. The late Mr.
Frank Jay, a great authority, says that Smith was
always “ a pure Bohemian,” but that he lived even
whilst at the height of his popularity in a very retired
way in a boarding-house at Bloomsbury, his increasing
deafness precluding him from intimacy with his fellow-
authors. With Vol. VII (New Series) of The London
Journal, No. 363, November 25th, 1890, was presented
a large sheet pictorial almanac depicting a number of
favourite actresses and society beauties, Miss Winifred
Emery, Miss Ellen Terry, Miss Mary Anderson,
Madame Albani, Adeline Patti, Lady Brooke, Lady
Dunlo, Nikita ( ?), the Countess of Zetland, and Lady
Randolph Churchill, all encircling a centre portrait of
John Frederick Smith.

Smith crossed to America where he re-published

many of his old tales and wrote some new romances
the titles of which it is baffling to trace. Dick and
Fitzgerald of 18 Ann Street, New York, issued in
paper covers at 75 cents and a dollar a very lengthy
series of “ J. F. Smith’s Celebrated Novels.” Here the
longer fictions are often in two volumes and have
been re-named. Thus Phases of Life; or, A Peep
Behind the Scenes (1856) becomes Harold Tracy; or,

Phases of Life and Bella Trelawney ; or, Time Works
Wonders.

The actual day of Smith’s death in New York is
uncertain, but it occurred early in March, 1890, and
the famous writer passed away in obscurity, if not
indeed in actual want. Of English newspapers only
two recorded his decease, the London Star, and The
Athenceum, March 19th, 1890.

SOUTHWORTH, Mrs. Emma Dorothy Eliza
Nevitte

Bom at Washington, December 26th, 1819. Died at
Washington, June 30th, 1899. Mrs. Southworth pub-
lished more than 60 novels. The uniform edition of
her works, Philadelphia 1872, collected to that date 42
stories, and even so is not complete. She taught in a
school from 1844-49, during which years she contri-
buted to The Irish Refugee, The Baltimore Saturday
Visitor, and other papers. Her first novel Retribution,
written for The National Era, grew from a short story
to a full-length fiction, and was published separately,
New York, 1849. Her last novel was The Fatal
Secret.

Actually the famous Black Bess was the work of J. F.

Smith. Viles fathered the book, and many other sensa-
tional romances. He is said to have written little
or nothing himself, but he was always most generous
to his “ ghosts,” and notwithstanding his one weakness
to pose as an author there was no kinder-hearted man,
none more ready to help and relieve. Mr. Edgar
Lee, who died in December, 1908, and who acted for
about two years as secretary to Viles had many stories
of his charities, as humbly hidden as they were tender
and unfailing. Robert Louis Stevenson offered Viles
the MS. of Treasure Island. A week later, Viles
replied that he did not think much of the stuff, but he
would purchase the tale to be re-written by a more
competent hand. Stevenson called for the return of the
MS., and soon after sought an interview with Edward
Viles.

WARD, Mrs. Catherine George, afterwards Mrs.
Mason (1787- )

There seems no foundation for the suggestion that
Mrs. Ward was an American. This appears to have
arisen owing to the fact that many, if indeed not all,
of her novels were promptly pirated. Thus we have
The Cottage on the Cliff, Philadelphia, 1823, and
The Mysterious Marriage, New York, 1869. It was
erroneously supposed that this latter was Mrs. Ward’s
last work, and that New York, 1869, was the original
edition, which actually is London, Virtue, 1821.

assumed that Vols IV-VI, 1797, might stand as a separate

called, 1801, is the Second Edition of the complete work. The
Bodleian Library catalogues a Second Edition, but this is only

Holcroft. The Second Edition. 3 vols., i2mo. Shepperson

This Second Edition, identical with the First Edition, was
almost certainly a new issue to accompany Vols. IV. -VI, 1797.

and The Elegant Enthusiast, which had been presented to
Mr. Beckford by “ the divine authoress,” as he wrote on the

to read Azemia or The Elegant Enthusiast ? Probably they
were valued for their very uninteresting green morocco
covers.” These were Beckford’s own copies of his own novels.
They were most charmingly bound in green morocco with
delicate tooling and pink silk linings.

Robinson, Paternoster-Row. MDCCLXXXVI. Since the
First Edition of Caroline of Lichtfield is very rare I have
thought it well in this instance to give details of the title-page.
My own copy is in contemporary binding.

Lichtfield was (not altogether surprisingly) confused with the
English city, Lichfield, and the book has often been quoted
as “ Caroline of Litchfield.” This was foreseen and on page 1
there is a footnote, Lichtfield : “ Not Litchfield in England,
but Lichtfield, a supposed Prussian title.”

The French original, by I. P. de Bottens, Baroness de
Montolieu, is Caroline. Par Madame de * * *. Publiee

in February, 1879. “ After his death he became a legendary

Charley Wag, the new Jack Sheppard. A new and intensely

George Augustus Sala. In My Life (1917 ; p. 50) George R.
Sims says that when the play “ Sweeny Todd ” (rather
“ Sweeney Todd ”) was produced “ it was announced as
“ Sweeney Todd, the Barber of Fleet Street, or The String
of Pearls, a Drama in three acts founded on the popular work
of the same title by Fred Hazelton, Esq., Author of ‘ Edith
the Captive,’ ‘ Charley Wag,’ etc.” ” For some reason
Charley Wag has acquired a curious notoriety, which is quite
undeserved. This slippery repute, if not arising from, was
no doubt considerably stimulated by a remark of G. R. Sims,
(My Life; 1917; p. 60) who wrote: “There were some
dreadful stories published in penny numbers for the reading
of the young who were permitted to choose their own litera-
ture. Two of the worst that I remember were “ Charley
Wag” and “The Woman with the Yellow Hair.” This is
absurd, and G. R. Sims spoke “ With his tongue in his cheek,”
as Ingoldsby has it. Charley Wag carries advertisements of
The Woman with the Yellow Hair, The Serpent on the
Hearth, and Gipsy Madge.

Epreuves, of which one is Rosetta; or, the Fair Penitent
rewarded, a version of Clary.

It has not, I think, been observed that Clary is the original of
the opera Clari, or, The Maid of Milan, which was produced
at Covent Garden on May 8th, 1823. It was played about a
month earlier as Clari; or, The Milanese Peasant Girl. The
music is by Bishop. The opera is famous for the song “ Home
sweet home.” Clari is sometimes attributed to Planche, but
more often (and by Genest, George Daniel, and other
authorities) to John Howard Payne, whose name appears in
the printed copies, John Cumberland’s edition, and Dicks’
Standard Plays, No. 406.

Ccelina, ou VEnfant du Mystere. By F. G. Ducray-Duminil.
6 vols., Paris. 1798. Regarded as the chef-d’oeuvre of
Ducray-Duminil. A very famous romance reprinted at least
twenty times. One of the latest editions is that in the
Bibliotheque des villes et des campagnes, 3 tom. 1863.
Translated by Mrs. Meeke as A Tale Of Mystery, or, Celina.
4 vols. Lane, Newman, Minerva-Press. 1803. See under
this title.

Ducray-Duminil’s Ccelina was dramatized by Guilbert de
Pixerecourt as Ccelina, ou VEnfant du Mystere, a drama
in three acts, which was produced with great success at the
Ambigu comique, Paris, in 1800, and printed 8vo. 1801.
Pixerecourt’s Ccelina was adapted by Holcroft as A Tale of
Mystery ; a melodrama (see under this title), produced at
Covent Garden on Saturday, November 1 3th, 1 802 ; printed
8vo., 1802. This proved extremely popular and long held
the stage. A T ale of Mystery has been considered as the first
English melodrama proper, but it is not possible to be so
definite and precise, although it may freely be allowed that the
piece is of its kind important.

Edition, 1845. Several times re-issued.

There are, of course, many versions of Dick Turpin, often
as Dick Turpin the Highwayman. The first edition should
be as above, not as has been supposed Dick Turpin, 41 nos.,
Thos. White, 1840. Nor is the Fourth Edition, Wm. Clark,
1856. This is a later and deceptive re-issue.

Turpin was (inexplically enough for he seems to have been
a complete ruffian) something of a tradition and a popular
hero long before Rookwood, 1834, although that fine romance
immensely increased his vogue and fame. The theatres we re
not backward in heroizing him. Rookwood was at once
turned into a drama for the Adelphi and many minor

theatres. G. Dibdin Pitt’s Rookwood! or, The Legend

of the Old Lime Tree was given at Sadler’s Wells on
February 24th, 1840, and revived at the Royal Victoria,
October 27th, 1845. H. M. Milner’s Equestrian Drama,
Turpin’s Ride To York; or, Bonny Black Bess, first per-
formed at Astley’s on Whit Monday, 1836, in one form or
another persisted until well within the twentieth century.
J. H. Green, who claimed to have been “ The Original
Inventor ” of the Juvenile Drama published a Rookwood for
the Toy Theatre with a Panorama of Turpin’s Ride to York,
1834.

Dick Turpin’s Ride to York, a romance, 9 nos., G. Purkess.
1848. In November, 1910, “reading of the Dick Turpin
type of literature ” led to the appearance of a Camden

296 A GOTHIC BIBLIOGRAPHY

Town errand-boy before Mr. Plowden the Marylebone
magistrate. This youth had decamped with money and a
loaded revolver “ to take the road.” In his pocket was a
copy of Dick Turpin's Ride to York. The magistrate placing
him on probation remarked that although books of a
romantic character had a bad effect on certain minds
hundreds of boys read these books but were able to control
their imaginations.

The longest and perhaps best known of the minor Turpin
romances is Black Bess which runs to 1,136 chapters. From
about 1904 to 1910 the Aldine Library published Penny
romances in a Dick Turpin series by Stephen H. Agnew, the
author of With Pistol and Pad, Christmas with the King ,
The Man in Stripes, King John's Treasure, etc. Such are:
The Seven Amber Eyes; or, The Demon of the Fleet Ditch
(No. 163); Minions of the Moon; or, The Trail of the Sack
of Gold (No. 164); The Mysterious Mask (No. 174); The
Kidnapped King; or, The New Captain of the Bow Street
Runners (No. 175); The Silver Lion; or, The Terror of
Epping Forest (No. 176). These stories which comprise “ The
Dick Turpin Library,” in all 182 nos., are told with spirit
and do not lack a certain quality.

“ The New Black Bess Library ” in which is incorporated
“ Dick Turpin.” The late Mr. C. A. Ransom had Nos. 1-38,
bound in seven volumes, original coloured wrappers bound
in half calf, royal 8vo. n.d.

This famous book which was long extremely popular is
anonymous, and curiously the authorship has been ascribed
to two such different writers as Clara Reeve and T. P. Prest.
It certainly belongs to neither, although in 1841 Prest pro-
duced for Edward Lloyd a piracy, Fatherless Fanny.

Clara Reeve died in 1807, and Fatherless Fanny in no
particular resembles her work. There is also internal evidence.
The story opens in the year 1798, when Fanny is about five
years old. At the conclusion Fanny has been married some
years, and is an affectionate mother, she and her husband
having been “ blessed by Providence with numerous pledges
of their mutual love.” Fatherless Fanny which is an extremely

theatre, Astley’s on June 4th, 1827. The authors who wrote
sensational fiction for Edward Lloyd, Purkess, Foster and
Hextall, and other publishers often availed themselves of the
popular melodramas of the day, and as they were not slow
to seize the immediate occasion we are tempted to date The
Flying Dutchman, published by Foster and Hextall as early
as 1827, or at any rate within the next two or three years.

Journal. The London Minor Theatres adapted Mrs. Shelley’s
novel for their own requirements. In November, 1838, N. T.
Hicks played the Monster (probably in Peake’s play) at the
Victoria Theatre, London. One or other of the two dramas
was revived at the Lyceum in 1839 (probably Peake), at

popular at several Minor Theatres. At Edinburgh, 1856-59,
Henry Irving was acting in Milner’s play.

Lillo’s famous play The London Merchant ; Or, The History
of George Barnwell (universally known as George Barnwell)
originally produced at Drury Lane, June 22nd, 1731, was
still a great favourite in the theatre, and had been reprinted
again and again. Mrs. Siddons was celebrated in the role of
Millwood.

This has been rather stupidly attributed to E. L. Blanchard,
who is misnamed and called Edward Lytton Blanchard.
Edward Leman (or Laman) Blanchard was born 1820 and
died 1889. He was a very prolific author, and wrote many
successful pantomimes and other dramatic pieces. When
G. W. M. Reynolds had a difference with the publisher George
Vickers, and left him for a new publisher, John Dicks,
Vickers commissioned E. L. Blanchard to write the Fourth
Series of The Mysteries of London, then in progress.

Astley’s commenced with The Siege of Troy , “Including
and embodying all the varied resources of the Theatre,” a
very real and not too remote echo of Elkanah Settle and
Bartlemy Fair tragi-comedy The Siege of Troy. There
followed a Spectacle entitled Chinese Wonders Or Five Days
Fete! of Pekin, and next The Reaper “ a Rustic Tale of Love
and Harvest Home ” delineated in “ the Execution of some
Equestrian Feats.” The whole concluded with The Hag
of the Storm! or, The Doomed Knight. Mr. Gomersal
played Hardyknute, Lord Holstein ; Mr. S. Foster, Rolf,
his Esquire ; Messrs. Bland, F. Smith and T. Smith, Osway,
Rupert and Karl ; Mr. Conquest, Willikind ; Miss Lee,
Leolyn, the Dumb Boy, Miss Daly, Una ; Mrs. Pope, Clotilda ;
Mrs. J. Ducrow, Paulina ; and Mr. Curtlich, Sangrida, the
Hag of the Wood. There were marvellous effects, “ A Mid-
night Storm of August, Convocation of Daemons, Witches,
and Fiends to bow to the Evil Enchantress. Awful Charm
and Incantation. Change to the Baronial Hall.” Later,
an “ Allegorical Ballet of Sorcery ” was “ interrupted by the
Mysterious Woman of the Black Veil — sudden Convulsion
of Nature and Awful Darkness of the earth, preparatory to
the Fiery Appearance of the Sorceress demanding her Victim.
Sleeping Chamber of Mystery, and the Fathom Deep Cell of
Sorcery. Ropey Altar of Human Bones — The Dark Powers
of Evil Fall, and the Rightful Heir is Re-enstated in the
honour of the Domains of Holstein, whilst the Doomed
Knight is borne off by the Dragon Daemon.”

popular, and as late as 1848 the Marylebone Theatre called

The Hero has been mistakenly ascribed to Eaton Stannard
Barrett, presumably because he is the author of The Heroine,
a satiric tale in the same genre, and also because The Flero
Is advertised by Colburn in the Third Edition, 1815, of The
Heroine. Actually The Hero is a translation (originally made
about 1800) by Mrs. Sophia Elizabeth Shedden from La Nuit
Anglaise, 2 vols., Paris, 1799, by Belin de La Liborliere. (See
under this title.) Sophia Elizabeth Shedden was the second
daughter of Matthew Lewis, Under-Secretary of War, and the
younger sister of Matthew Gregory (“ Monk ”) Lewis.

The Hero is “ Dedicated, With All Due Humility To The
Authors Of The Mysteries Of Udolpho; The Tomb; Gras-
ville Abbey ; The Monk ; Hubert De Sevrac ; Celestina ; And
The Heroine.” See respectively under these several titles.

The Tomb is Le Tombeau.

It may be remarked that the satire of The Hero although not
unamusing is rather too rough and too drawn out to be wholly
effective. Mr. Dob (in the original, Monsieur Dabaud), a
Parisian bourgeois, who has become a votary of the roman
noir is practised upon by a series of japeries counterfeiting
various incidents in the romances of Mrs. Radcliffe, Matthew'
Gregory Lewis, and other famous writers. In a final scene

he is obliged freely and absolutely to renounce “ your Gras -
ville Abbey, Hubert de Sevrac, Celestine, Mysteries of
Udolpho, The Monk, Sicilian Romance, The Tomb, Romance
of the Forest, The Italian; ... all romances, past, present,
and to come, which may contain spectres, ruins, old castles,
banditti, concealed doors, daggers crusted with blood, and,
above all, a tower bearing the name of even one of the

bind himself never to look into “ an English romance pro-
perly so called, nor into any English novels, excepting those
of Fielding, Smollet, and Miss Edgeworth; Waverley, and
others of the same author ; Sketches of Character, and Pride
and Prejudice, with others by the same author.” A terrible
threat is — “ I will oblige you to read a whole chapter of the
second volume of Ccelebs.”

The Intrigues Of A Morning; Or, An Hour in Paris was
given at Covent Garden 18th April, 1792. This farce is an
adaptation from Moliere’s Monsieur de Pourceaugnac, and
Mi's. Parsons was accused of having made a literal copy of
Charles Shadwell’s The Plotting Lovers ; or The Dismal
Squire, first acted and printed in Dublin, 1740. Charles
Shadwell, however, frankly acknowledges that his piece is
taken from Monsieur de Pourceaugnac, which indeed has been
drawn upon again and again by English dramatists.

Romance of “ The Ordeal By Touch ” [Mrs. Elizabeth
Caroline Grey]. Serialized in Lloyd’s Entertaining Journal
and Weekly Miscellany, 1846-7, commencing October 31st,
1846; concluding March 27th, 1847. Issued in numbers,
E. Lloyd. 1847.

In Mrs. Grey’s romance the Iron Mask is not (as might be
supposed) the theme of L’Homme au Masque de Fer, which
had been utilized by Ann Yearsley in The Royal Captives, A
Fragment of Secret History, 1795, but quite another story
set in the period 1 720-1, the scene London. The Iron Mask
hides an evil and mysterious astrologer. The tale is full of
adventure and hairbreadth escape, only marred by a some-
what huddled conclusion, a fault not altogether uncommon
in these romances.

Laetitia, Lady Lade, was believed to be the mistress of John
Rann, the notorious highwayman. See “ A Genuine Account
of the Life of John Rann, alias Sixteen-String Jack,” 1774,
where his chere amie Mrs. Smith (afterwards Lady Lade) is
described as “ rather above the middle size,” p. 29 of this pam-
phlet. Sir John Lade, “ the libertine Lad,” married Mrs.
Smith. She was the mistress of the Duke of York, and others.
Her portrait was painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds in 1785.
There is a full account of her in The Female Jockey Club
by Charles Pigott, and in Robert Huish’s Memoirs of George
the Fourth, Vol. I, p. 14 1. Lady Lade died at the Hithe,
Egham, Surrey, May 5th, 1825. Sir John Lade, nicknamed
“Jehu,” born 1759, died in his eightieth year at Egham on
February 10th, 1838. See further Notes and Queries, nth
Series, Vol. X, October 17th, 1914, p. 316, also same vol.,
PP- 357, 394, 472.

William Leman Rede’s Sixteen String Jack was first produced
as a spectacular drama at the Coburg on February 18th,
1823, and revised as “ A Romantic Drama ” at the Olympic,
on November 15th, 1841. Printed, Dicks’s Standard Plays,

George R. Sims My Life (1917), pp. 51-2, speaks of Sixteen
String Jack — whether W. L. Rede or T. E. Wilks or another
version he does not say — being played under Richards’ pro-
prietorship to packed houses at the Garrick Theatre in Leman
Street, Whitechapel, “ a theatre run on the lines of a gaff.”
Should this theatre be the Garrick, Leman Street, Goodman’s
Fields ; or the Effingham Saloon, Whitechapel ; or Royal
Pavilion, Whitechapel? I imagine “ Leman Street, White-
chapel ” is a slip for Leman Street, Goodman’s Fields.

was based on the murder, and these were huge favourites at
the London minors and in the smaller country theatres. The
first recorded London performance of a Maria Marten melo-
drama seems to be that at the Marylebone Theatre, April 6th,
1840. The house dramatist to the Queen’s Theatre, Battersea,
wrote a melodrama on the Red Bam which has not been
printed but from which a number of similar plays were
derived. For an account of these and of the fortunes of
Maria Marten on the stage see, Maria Marten ; or, The

in the Red Barn was at the Elephant Theatre (Elephant and

402 A GOTHIC BIBLIOGRAPHY

There have been innumerable cheap reprints of this anti-
clerical romance, as it may be surely termed, for Maria Monk
was, in the words of Colonel W. L. Stone of New York who
investigated her “ revelations,” an “ arrant impostor,” and her
book “ a tissue of calumnies.” Maria Monk has been aptly
described by Mr. G. K. Chesterton as “ a dirty half wit.”
This unhappy wretch in 1849 robbed a paramour, who
prosecuted her, and she died in prison. See for details The

Memoirs Of A Woman Of Pleasure, The. [By John Cleland.]
Mr. C. R. Dawes has obliged me with the following note :
“ There are very many different editions of this book, and
it has never been definitely established which is the actual
original, nor the exact date. The first edition, which ever
it may be, is certainly not dated. My copy which has
“Memoirs of *********** ** ************ London: Printed
for G. Fenton in the Strand,” on the title-page, N.D.
2 vols., i2mo., pp. 232 and 252, is generally considered to
be the Second Edition, and G. Apollinaire says that this
edition appeared in 1747 or 1748, but he does not give his
reasons. The current title is Memoirs of Fanny Hill. There
is an edition with illustrations said to be by Rowlandson.
I have never seen it, but am told that the illustrations are
not very good. In most reprints up till quite recent times,
the homosexual episode is omitted.”

In 1750 Griffiths the bookseller, who is doubtless G. Fenton,
published an expurgated edition, i2mo., as Memoirs of Fanny
Hill. There have been many reprints, several of which were
illustrated and all of which were clandestine, of this master-
piece of English erotica. There is at least one much mutilated
chapbook version of Fanny Hill, c. 1820.

The Isidore Liseux edition. Memoirs of Fanny Hill, “A new
and genuine edition from the original text, London, 1749,”
was published, Paris, 1888. Reprinted, 1890.

Lambert. It is also said to be the work of Fougeret de

Price gr.

The second issue of the First Edition, published in April, 1796.
Price 1 or. 6d.

The two issues are easily distinguished and differ in several
important details. Thus, Vol. I, p. 25, 1. 14, confidence (First
Issue) becomes conscience.

Vol. II, p. 73, line 23, frequently (First Issue) becomes
occasionally.

Vol. Ill, p. 274, catchword infinite (First Issue) is abbreviated
to infi — •.

In Vol. I, the poem on pp. 88-89 in the First Issue has 55
lines. Second Issue, the poem commences on p. 87 and has
49 lines only.

Vol. Ill, first issue, verso p. 315 carries an advertisement of
two other of Bell’s publications. The second issue has no
advertisement.

First Issue. Vol. III. concludes with the death of Ambrosia
as soon as he is hurled on to the rocks. A short horizontal
line is drawn, and there is an added paragraph commencing :
“ Haughty Lady, why shrunk you back . . . . ”

Second Issue. Vol. III. Twenty-seven lines are added after
Ambrosio is hurled on to the rocks, which detail his agony
during the six days he lingers. The “ Haughty Lady ”
apostrophe does not appear.

Title-pages. First Issue : “ In Three Volumes ” is found

above the quotation. Second Issue : “ In Three Volumes ”
is found below the quotation.

“ In the first issue on the verso of page 315 of Volume III is
an advertisement of two books offered by the same publisher
[Bell]. In the second issue this advertisement is omitted. The
issues are, however, easily distinguished by their title pages,
the first having the words “ In Three Volumes ” above the
quotation and the second having the words below the quota-
tion.” Frederick Coykendall.

First Issue of First ed., but the “ Haughty Lady ” apostrophe
follows.

The Monk. The Third Edition. (As expressed on title-page.)
1797. This Third Edition seems to be the sheets (with all
errors) of the first issue, kept back by the publisher because of
the mistakes, and bound up with a Third Edition title-page
to meet the demand for a new edition. This suggestion is
made by Mr. Coykendall. Fourth Edition.

The Monk: as Ambrosio ; or, The Monk: a romance.

“ With considerable additions and alterations.” 3 vols., 1 798.
The alterations mainly consisted of the omission of the para-
graph which gave greatest offence as seeming to reflect on the
Bible, and a chastening or omission of various presumedly
erotic passages. The British Museum has the author’s copy
with his manuscript revisions for the new edition of 1798.
Passages are toned down and words altered.

Bell, 148 Oxford-street, on the production of Raymond and
Agnes, a Ballet Pantomime (from The Monk), Covent
Garden, Thursday, 1 6th March, 1797, advertised The Monk,
3 vols., 10/6, and announced that he “ found it necessary to
inform the public that a few copies of the Second Edition
still remained. The Book has been reported out of print, and
as a Grand Ballet has been brought forward, taken from the
above work, many people may wish to see the book before
the performance ; and as it will be some months before a
new edition can be ready to supply the demand, he has given
this notice.”
